Hello,
We are Anka (32) and Franz (33) and are currently traveling for 7 months in Central Asia and East Africa. Currently we spent 7 weeks as volunteers at a primary school in Arusha region, Tanzania.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get even better in touch with the local people. And to improve the language skills, so that they do not just stay with Mambo-Poa ;)

Interests

Mountaineering, board games, sport in general, experiencing different cultures.

• cats
• culture
• board games
• skiing
• sports
• volleyball
• mountains
• football
• biking
• climbing
• games
• cards

Music, Movies, and Books

Unfortunately I am not really a movie person as I tend to sleep in front of the TV after 5 minutes :D
I even slept once while watching penalty shootout in a football WC quarter final ( that time I was reeeally into football, this lost now a bit after Covid)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sharing and experiencing the friendliness of the people in central asia.
Even better than the gorgeous landscape or all mountains we climbed here.
Apart from this, about Franz:
Lived in the arctic for 1 year in dark and light season (so did Anka)
Worked in the alps on a hut
Managed to climb to +6000 m
Ate 1kg pasta in one go
Threw a skipping stone with +10 bounces
Asked an almost complete strange girl if she wants to go to Georgia with me for 2 weeks (2017)
Volunteered at a school project in Tanzania
Anka:
Lived my whole life with at least 1 cat
Learnt to play and love volleyball
Went with an almost complete stranger to Georgia in 2017

What I Can Share with Hosts

We are always open for cooking dinner and having a nice fun conversation together.
Even better if we can join you on playing a board game!!
